[Dynapi-Help] Requirements of a server-side companion for DynAPI

[Doug Melvin]

Rough draft: Add your comments and suggestions, then we'll make a second draft and do it again.   DataBase access:     -SQL implementation (rip code from or modify MySQL?)     -getField('fieldname')         > get the value in field 'fieldname' for                 the selected record     -setField('fieldname')         > set the value in field                 'fieldname' for the selected record     -SQLExecute('sqlstring')         > you would pass your             "SELECT * FROM" or             "DELETE ALL FOR"             statements to the DB             engine here..   File I/O (server-side):     -directory navigation:         +list files         +change working dir     -file streaming:         +Open file stream         +get X bytes from file stream         +get ALL from file stream         +write to file stream:    append/insert/overwrite         +close file stream       -file manipulation:         +copy file         +move file         +rename file         +delete file         +maybe batch versions of the above                 (ie myFileStreamObject.rename('f*s.js','f*r.js') )   Network Comm:   Not sure what you would want for network comm.. But I was thinking, you can make tcpip connections with an applet right? So, on thos platforms that don't support, say, LiveConnect for instance, your applet can make a network connection to you serv-side component, which would then instruct you DynaPI to do something (using a queue I would assume as you can't 'tell' jscript to do anything from the server...)   --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free by AVG Free Edition http://www.grisoft.com/html/us_index.cfm Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
